Pros

“It provides the tools we need to manage daily school operations, student information, billing, and family communication in one platform. While there are areas where additional automation and enhanced communication features would improve efficiency, the system does the job well and continues to support our administrative and operational needs.”
GB

Giovanna B.

Assistant Director

“It is excellent for assisting in student management, and now has the new feature to look at all the rooms and help with capacity and placement dates.”
SS

Samantha S.

Preschool Administrator

“I have been a Procare desktop and Procare online user for years throughout my childcare profession, from corporate centers to small centers, Procare products has also meet and exceeded the needs for our childcare program.”

Pros

“It also has many video tutorials that enable the user to learn the modules very easy.”
FZ

Francine Z.

Childcare Owner Operator

“I feel it was a good experience, I know customer service is easy to get a hold of and they respond in a timely matter”
CH

Christine H.

Director

Cons

“Occasional system glitches, syncing issues between devices, and delays in customer support can create extra work and frustration for staff and families”
JM

Janelix M.

Assistant Director

“Our school's enrollment and schedule structure (where students enroll in multiple classes and different programs through the year) requires several workarounds/nonintuitive uses of Procare Desktop's tracking & tags, as the generic options do not accommodate our schedule structure.”

Communications And Events

“I am a member of the admin team that uses daily Procare and I absolutely hate how the desktop Procare does not sync with Procare connect. If I input information on the desktop version of Procare especially things like schedule and allergies it does not automatically sync with Procare Connect. ”
